This Love by Maroon 5
This Love
There are two guitars in this song. Guitar1 plays that funky riff,
guitar2 plays along with the bassline. When the tabs for each guitar
are not separated by a space, they're played together.
FILLS - These quick fills are played by guitar1 in between chord
changes in the verse. I put them here because it looks crowded
in the tab. The tab shows you when to play them in the intro,
but for the rest of the song you'll just have to figure it out.
I don't think there's a regular pattern--just improvise.
h = hammer-on, p = pull-off,

"OUTRO," which is really just the repetition of the chorus, but
at one point the guitar1 chorus riff switches to this, and is played
until the song fades out. Not sure how to tab out the exact rhythm,
but here it is. At this point, the chords of the song are maintained
by the bass.

Capo 3rd Fret
Intro:
E - Am - Dm - E
Verse 1:
E Am
I was so high I didn't recognize
Dm E
the fire burning in her eyes, the chaos that controlled my mind....
E Am
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Dm E
Never to return again but always in my heart
Chorus:
Am Dm G7 C
This love has taken its toll on me
Am Dm G C
She said goodbye too many times before
Am Dm G C
Her heart is breaking in front of me
Am Dm G C E - Am - Dm - E
I have no choice, I won't say goodbye anymore
Verse 2:
I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again
Chorus
Bridge:
Dm
I'll fix these broken things
C
Repair your broken wings
E7 Am
And make sure everything's alright
Dm
My pressure on your hips
C
Sinking my fingertips
E
Into every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do
